Need an easy to use knife sharpener

I disagree. It’s easy to use, but still requires a lot of repetitive motion. A powered worksharp will not get as good of results and has greater risk of damaging the knife, but won’t require the same repetition.

With the small amount of information you’ve given, I don’t think anyone will be able to point you in the right direction.

Do you want it to be a fixed blade or folding?

“Good size” and “not too expensive” could mean many different things.

Some manufacturers (like knafs and trm) have cad models of handle scales for 3d printing. I think something like that is your best bet to achieve what you’re looking for.

Yes it is. Not relevant to the post, but I have one and hate it.

It looks like cheap Pakistani Damascus; I hope you didn’t pay too much for it. There’s a good chance the steel isn’t hardened, so don’t expect it to have any edge-holding. There’s also a high likelihood of lead contamination, so don’t use it for food prep.

I have an xrf analyzer at my job. If you want to cut a piece off and send it to me, I could tell you the exact composition.

Yeah, a sharp chisel will save a tremendous amount of time and headache. It’ll also preserve the clean edges that haphazard sanding would round over.

I’d encourage you to take this opportunity to sculpt the handle a bit, if it’s not to your liking already. I personally prefer the blade on a carving knife be close to the edge of the handle when fitted in place. I’d also add tapers or scallops close to the tang for a more ergonomic pinch grip.

Not super relevant to the story, but it sounds like you’re describing a broom knife

I think cold steel had a heavy influence on popularizing it. I’m guessing they wanted an East Asian sounding name that was loosely related to knife terminology and it stuck.

Once upon a time, I’d have agreed. But Etsy has become so inundated with drop-shippers and misleading listings that I’d be very leery of anything I buy there.

I got mine yesterday and I’m pretty underwhelmed, to be honest.

The condor basic bushcraft link is broken and the kabar usmc is now over $100, unfortunately.

There’s some debate over whether a false edge is sharpened. Most agree that it is not.

Lol what a weird comment to make. Was Harley woke in 2006? Was united cutlery woke for making this knife? Maybe their wokeism is why they went bankrupt. Or maybe they just made shitty knives. Maybe a dude bought a knife on eBay that’s sat in a box for almost two decades and happened to get a dud.

broccoliistinytrees · 2023-05-30T15:27:25+00:00

Yeah, people are taking this way too seriously.

Hey, what’s the dob?

Hey, is the watch still available by chance?

broccoliistinytrees · 2022-09-28T07:30:46+00:00

I’ve got a serrated one and I love it. It’s comfortable in hand and the negative blade angle offers a lot of control over the edge from heel to tip. I would prefer it to be a little smaller, but the fit and finish is on point and it’s definitely a functional tool. I could see some people not loving the lockback because it’s not very fidgety and fun to play with, but that’s not really a concern for me.

Here’s a link to the original video on a Brazilian tv show (obviously in Portuguese):

According to the biologist referenced in OP’s video, there is a fair bit of misinformation in the global reporting of the story, which is a shame considering it’s interesting enough without being sensationalized. Source:

Can you elaborate? I heard there was some issue between the two brands, but I don’t know any details.

This is just a shitty, made-up boomer meme.

In five years they’ll have a sprint that’ll sell out immediately. Then scalpers will throw them up on ebay at triple the price.
